Microneedling for Acne in Myeongdong, Seoul
Targeted microneedling and RF microneedling to calm active acne, reduce oil and smooth the scars and marks acne leaves behind.
What is Microneedling for Acne? Microneedling for acne uses ultra-fine needles, often combined with radiofrequency energy (RF microneedling), to treat acne from within. Devices such as Potenza and Agnes heat overactive oil glands and stimulate collagen, which helps calm breakouts and smooth acne scars. At Kleam Clinic Myeongdong, Potenza Agnes starts from ₩59,000 per area.
How Microneedling for Acne works
Standard microneedling (MTS) creates micro-channels that trigger collagen renewal and help active ingredients absorb. RF microneedling goes a step further: insulated needles deliver radiofrequency heat at a precise depth.
Agnes targets the sebaceous glands that cause recurring acne, while Potenza treats acne, redness, pores and scars, and can deliver anti-inflammatory or regenerative solutions through its pumping tip. Your doctor chooses the depth, device and programme for your skin.

Microneedling for Acne in Seoul: frequently asked questions
Clear answers to what international guests ask most before booking.
Does microneedling work for active acne?
RF microneedling such as Agnes and Potenza can help by targeting overactive oil glands and inflammation. Standard microneedling alone is better suited to scars than to active breakouts.
What is the difference between Agnes and Potenza?
Agnes uses insulated needles to target individual oil glands and is used for stubborn acne. Potenza treats a wider area for acne, pores, redness and scars, and can deliver solutions through its pumping tip.
How many sessions will I need?
Usually 3–5 sessions 3–4 weeks apart. Acne-prone skin may also benefit from extractions, peels and home care.
Is there downtime?
Expect redness and mild swelling for 1–3 days, sometimes small marks for a few days. You can return to normal activities straight away.
Can microneedling remove acne scars?
It can significantly improve rolling and boxcar scars over a course. Deep scars may also need subcision or Pico Fraxel.
Is it safe for darker skin?
RF microneedling delivers energy below the surface, which makes it suitable for many skin types. Your doctor will adjust settings to your skin.
